Plaza District Membership

The Plaza District Association is a 501c3 organization working to revitalize the Plaza District. If it weren’t for the association, the Plaza District would remain the neighborhood blight it once was. Today, the Plaza District Association works to support and recruit local business, promote the district through events such as LIVE on the Plaza, the annual festival and the Urban Pioneer Awards. Additionally the association maintains the street so it will remain clean and safe for you! The Plaza District is an advocate for Oklahoma City’s creative, local voice and we work to progress the district as Oklahoma City’s local flavor. If you enjoy the district and the progress we have made, please consider becoming a Plaza District member. Membership includes many benefits to keep you in the loop, to outfit you with Plaza gear and the proceeds go directly to supporting the Plaza District cause.
